This amount is the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. When the carrying amount of the asset exceeds this recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. The value in use is calculated by discounting the estimated future cash flows to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate reflecting current market conditions and asset-specific risks. For determining fair value less costs to sell, an appropriate valuation model is applied .
